Panorama 25 Feb 20.30hrs: Trans Kids: Why Medicine Matters **Thread title edited by MNHQ**

[TimeLady]

"More young people than ever are exploring their gender identity. Last year, two and a half thousand under-eighteens were referred to NHS England's gender identity clinics for support. Some are hoping to get access to potentially irreversible treatments as soon as they can. Doctors are divided about the best way to help."

"Dr Faye Kirkland investigates how much we understand about the care being offered to transgender children."

Long, interesting post from olly lambert which I would summarise in one sentence as follows: the slippery fuckers are frit as fuck.

The Panorama program aired in February 2019 should be considered in context of international investigative jurnalism raising ethical issues.
Important Swedish documentary (which features one of the senior medical whistleblowers about Tavistock)

'Transgender Regret - A Dutch Documentary'
Peach Yoghurt, "Not all transgender stories are about success. This Dutch docu shows the dark side of transition. A side that's not rare and needs to be talked about.

I don't take credits for this docu. It was on the Dutch public TV in December 2018.
I added English subtitles and my only purpose is to share it, so more people can see it."
